Save People
Monument uses it's own facial recognition to automatically analyze your photos for people and group photos of the same person together. Once photos are uploaded and analyzed, Monument will suggest assigning a name to that group so that a new person is created. You can review photos that are grouped together and remove ones that do not belong.
- Select the "Browse" tab and click on "People"
- Click the plus icon in the corner
- Select a suggested person
- Select all correct photos & enter a name
- Go back to Browse > People to see everyone

The Windows software does not support adding or editing people or tags. When will this functionality be made available?
@RossMacLaren
Update:
Recent update messed every thing up. Now cannot adding people. Get error when trying to merge photos.
With Monument 1.x I had about 40 named persons with thousands of images each and about 60 unnamed faces.
With 2.0.3 I had only about 6-7 named persons with up to 20 images each and 8-10 unnamed faces.
With 2.0.4 Monument was analyzing for a day and the result was: 4 named persons with 0 images, about 150 new faces and no way to change, delete or merge the existing 4 persons (which happen to be the most important ones).
And the old existing persons from 1.x are gone forever, right?
Someone messed up big time. Doesn't help Monument isn't responding. It was working good before, maybe they can go back to earlier version????
They don't even answer now
Just checked my earlier e-mails and saw this, so they are working on it

We have found this issue and we have created a fix. We are releasing an update today. I will check back in soon!

They appear to have it functioning again, but not as good as it did in the older version. I have many people photos that were not identified. They have no way to rescan photos. Can only manually identify people. Its strange that when I manually id people in photos that were not identified as people it correctly identifies the people 90 % of the time. Don't understand why they can't be reprocessed?
@Dave @AntonZiegler
While updating the firmware with improved facial recognition and a new design for Browse > People, there was a bug that caused people to be reset.
This issue has since been fixed and we have been collecting feedback on the new design. We value your input and would love for everyone to reach out to us at support@getmonument.com or to leave feedback in our community forum:
I've uploaded a fair amount of photos (20k+) and have left Monument to do the analyzing for about 3 days. The facial recognition really disappoints as very few faces are recognized. I'm using android as well as windows on a desktop. One user is IOS.
The quoted features really sounded exciting and once those are delivered and functioning as expected, it'll be a great system. Sadly I think it's not there yet.
How would I know the analyzing has been completed? How can I prompt the system to re-analyze (and hopefully be more successful )?
Potentially a great product.

Just came back to Monument after some time ignoring it. My primary drive was full and the process of switching drives caused it to completely fail so I copied my collection to the new drive and let it cook for about 3 days.
Quite disappointed with the facial recognition as a large number of the people in my photo's are not listed under the People section and there is no way that I can find to manually tag them for inclusion.
People are probably the main reason we take pictures and not having this work acceptably well is a major flaw and part of the reason that Monument cant hold my attention.
Most of my photo's are taken with a DSLR. I have 57,500 photo's in my library but only 39,000 are cataloged by Monument and as mentioned above, only a small amount of faces.
It seems that in the year or two I was away that thing's haven't improved much.
